of Web-based personal information management (PIM) solutions, today announced the expansion of its private-label, integrated offerings to include wireless and voice access.

The SwiftTouch(TM) suite of services is fully customizable to enable customers to rapidly extend their services into the wireless arena with offerings that are central to daily life.

"As a technology innovator, SwiftTouch continues to expand its licensing opportunities to empower our customers with services that attract, engage and retain users in new and innovative ways," said Dan Hoy, chief executive officer, SwiftTouch Corporation. "Our customers are looking for ways to engage their users and are doing so by offering personal productivity solutions with access via Web, wireless Internet and even phone. By integrating SwiftTouch's highly-customizable services, these companies become top-of-mind and migrate `beyond the desktop' onto new platforms."

"SwiftTouch provides us with a service that brings users back daily and offers us a way to move into the wireless arena quickly and easily - to keep up with our users wherever they go." claims Christina Van Houten, vice president of site development, CEOExpress, an award-winning SwiftTouch licensing partner. "Integrating SwiftTouch into our existing business portal complements the services we provide and creates a powerful differentiator that reinforces our mission to meet the demands of busy professionals."

By licensing its innovative personal information applications, SwiftTouch enables customers to bring the wireless Web into the "real lives" of their users. Voice dialing without the need for cumbersome programming, wireless access to complete address book entries, and the ability to bring any Web-based personal content onto a WAP-device are examples of SwiftTouch's functionality that creates value-added services for its users.

SwiftTouch is the first company to create a wireless, personal information management solution expressly for licensing. Its flexible, XML- and component-based architecture is easily customized to meet the unique needs of each customer. Additionally, SwiftTouch's services can quickly adapt to the industry's ever-changing standards and emerging technologies.

Today, SwiftTouch's contact manager, calendar, task lists, and notes all synchronize with existing applications and handhelds, such as Microsoft Outlook and Palm OS(R) devices, so that users are up and running in minutes. Wireless access via WAP-enabled phones and forthcoming voice access via any phone ensure that users are able to get to their critical information when they need it. Email and other applications may be seamlessly integrated into the licensed service, and all interface points of the entire SwiftTouch suite may be customized to reflect the customer's brand identity as well as look and feel.
